Solution for Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid

Question

Question:

I’m looking for a Class 3 2” trailer hitch for a 2023 Accord Hybrid for a bike rack for two e-bikes. Strap-on racks will not support the weight. Bike rack manufacturers say must be a true 2” receiver, not an adapter. Can one be custom made?

Helpful Expert Reply:

It is possible to have a custom hitch made for your 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid since a custom fit hitch is not available. What you can do is take the Curt Weld-On 2" Receiver for Custom Fabricated Hitches # E17 to a fabricator and have them fashion a hitch.

Make sure your vehicle has the tongue weight capacity to support the bike rack and e-bikes. You can either ask the dealer or check your owner's manual if it is listed. You also might want to ask the dealer if there are any electrical components in the rear that might prevent hitch installation. This happens fairly often with hybrid and EV vehicle models.
